# Extracting Features to Create a New Vendor License

# Introduction

Configure create-product-from-features.map to extract a feature from another mapping file to create a new vendor license. The new vendor license name will be visible in both the License Monitor and historical reports.

# Configuring create-product-from-features.map

  1. Open create-product-from-features.map in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration\.

    Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.

  2. Specify the features to extract and create as a vendor license with the following syntax:

    MAP: <New_VendorLicense>  
    Featurename\daemon\LicenseManager\vendorlicense

    Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.

    Example
    MAP: NewVendorLicenseFromFeatures
    Feat256\*\*

    This example creates a vendor license named NewVendorLicenseFromFeatures from all the Feat256 features.

  3. Save the changes.

  1. Open create-product-from-features.map in the etc directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit/etc.

    Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.

  2. Specify the features to extract and create as a vendor license with the following syntax:

    MAP: <New_VendorLicense>  
    Featurename\daemon\LicenseManager\vendorlicense

    Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.

    Example
    MAP: NewVendorLicenseFromFeatures
    Feat256\*\*

    This example creates a vendor license named NewVendorLicenseFromFeatures from all the Feat256 features.
